History Headscratchers / MegaMan

** In the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' series, it's implied that it was Trans Servers all along. While the respective protagonists[[note]]Zero in ''Zero'', of course, and [=Vent/Aile/Ashe/Grey=] in ''ZX''[[/note]] get a unique teleportation effect in those series that you don't see the other characters using, the other characters have a teleportation effect that is extremely similar to how [=Mega Man/Proto Man/Bass=] and [=X/Zero/Axl=] did it in the ''X'' and ''Classic'' series, and everyone in the ''Zero'' series doing this are stated to have been using Trans Servers.

* Why doesn't Dr. Light/MissionControl just skip over the eight Robot Masters/Mavericks' stages and go right to the boss? Better yet, why not skip over all of the flunkies and go right to Dr. Wily/Sigma? I mean, it seems like they can teleport Mega Man wherever, so it'd be more logical (though it'd make a shorter game) to just skip past the perfunctory bits and go for the head.

*** [[spoiler: When was it ever implied that Bass was smart? He's not BobAndGeorge levels of retardation, but he's probably a little thickheaded, considering [[ArrogantKungFuGuy his personality.]]]]

*** Technically, he wasn't. But at the end of X5, [[spoiler: Sigma states that he's found "an old man who hates [X] almost as much I do". Considering that the final boss immediately after is a blatant ripoff of Gamma from MM3, it's not a stretch to think it's Wily. Then there's the whole Black Demon boss three levels before...Basically, Wily somehow survived until X5, and then the plot thread was dropped.]]

* You know what's a little odd that I'm surprised more people haven't brought up (although this could double as [[WikiWord Fridge Logic]])? People say that Duo being some sort of bizarre [[WikiWord Omnicidal Maniac]] is the major case of confusion for ''Battle Network'' being a [[WikiWord For Want of a Nail]] of the ''Classic'' series. However, there's another major difference: Where are all of the real-world countries? In ''Mega Man 6'', there are eight countries represented that exist in the real world (those being the U.S., Japan, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Canada, Greece, England, and China). At least four of these have [[WikiWord Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]s in ''Battle Network''. What happened to all of them? Have they ever existed? Surely, the history must've diverged at some point earlier than just Dr. Light's research branching off into two different fields.

* Is there any given explanation for what exactly that that beam teleportation that's used by the protagonists of the series is or how it works?

*** So Roll is {{Barbie}}?

** I have never had Megaman appear in the NES version of Megaman 3's title screen. Only in the famicom and Anniversary versions. Even then, it is set, and not random.

*** To elaborate: Robots like the robot masters are probably strictly limited to whatever their primary programming is: If they're programmed to be good, they're good. If they're programmed to be evil, they're evil. Robots like Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass blur the lines in that they do exhibit some kind of free will, but they're ultimately still limited to their primary programming. These guys are implied to be advanced robots so they probably have the capacity to act within the parameters of their primary programming with more freedom than the average robot, but they still lack the ability to go beyond that programming (though given how human-like these robots are, it was probably only a matter of time before one of them managed to do it). X on the other hand was built with no primary programming to follow, no parameters to be limited by- he has true free will and do whatever he wants without any kind of preset constraint.

** The original Mega Man did think for himself to a point, but he still had constraints (allegedly). X was the first to be completely without constraints; that's why Dr. Light had him undergo 30 years of testing before release, he wanted to make sure he wasn't creating a monster by allowing him completely free will.

* Can someone please give an ''[[{{Watsonian}} in-story]]'' reason as to why Mega Man lost his ability to ''slide'' prior to ''Mega Man 9''? (I can at least fashion a justification for him not having the chargeable buster by having ''Rockman World V'' as being ''between'' 8 and 9, but that [[VoodooShark would then]] call into question how Magma Man's weapon is chargeable by Mega Man. Come to think of it, did Proto Man ever slide himself prior to that game?)
